Best pomades for adding volume to thin hair?

Hey everyone! I’ve been dealing with thinning hair and I’m looking for a pomade that can add some volume without making my hair look greasy. Any recommendations? I’ve heard good things about Malin + Goetz and Suavecito, but I’m open to other suggestions too!

Hey there! I totally feel you on the thinning hair struggle. I’ve been using the Suavecito Matte Pomade, and it’s been a game-changer for me. It adds volume and keeps my hair looking natural without that greasy look. Plus, it’s water-based, so it’s easy to wash out at the end of the day. If you’re looking for something a bit different, the Malin + Goetz Hair Pomade is also highly recommended for its lightweight, non-sticky formula. Give one of these a try, and I think you’ll be happy with the results. If you need more advice or have any other questions, just let me know!

For thinning hair, you want a pomade that adds volume without weighing it down. Based on the fact sheet, water-based pomades with a matte finish are ideal. Malin + Goetz Hair and Suavecito Matte Pomade are top picks, offering a lightweight, non-sticky formula. These products provide the right amount of hold and volume without making your hair look greasy. If you prefer a natural scent, King Brown Cream Pomade is also highly recommended.

Hey Spencer, I hear you on the thinning hair situation. JamesJourney and HarrisHiker have some great suggestions with the Suavecito Matte Pomade and Malin + Goetz Hair Pomade. Another one to consider is the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree styling wax. It’s perfect for fine hair, providing a natural hold without making your hair feel stiff or greasy. Plus, it’s known for its refreshing scent and scalp-friendly formula. If you’re looking for something with a bit more of a natural feel, the Nostalgic Handmade water-based pomade is highly recommended. It’s clean, easy to wash out, and has a great texture. Give one of these a shot, and you should see a nice boost in volume and a more natural look. Let us know how it goes!

Considering the importance of a lightweight and non-sticky formula for thinning hair, it’s worth noting that the hold strength of a pomade can greatly impact its overall effectiveness. A light to medium hold is often recommended, as it provides sufficient volume and texture without weighing the hair down. The fact sheet highlights the benefits of water-based pomades, which are easier to wash out and less likely to cause buildup. Building on JamesJourney’s suggestion of Suavecito Matte Pomade, it’s also important to consider the hair type and texture when choosing a pomade. For instance, individuals with fine hair may prefer a pomade with a firmer hold to add volume, while those with medium hair can opt for a light or strong hold pomade. HarrisHiker’s mention of King Brown Cream Pomade is also relevant, as it offers a natural scent and a lightweight formula. Additionally, Christopher42’s suggestion of Paul Mitchell Tea Tree styling wax is a good option for fine hair, providing a natural hold without stiffness. Ultimately, the key is to find a pomade that balances hold, texture, and washability to achieve the desired volume and natural look.

Try Hanz de Fuko Claymation - lightweight with great volume.

Check out Baxter of California, it works great!

Try Bumble and Bumble’s Thickening Cream!

Ah, the quest for the perfect pomade! It’s heartening to see the camaraderie here as we all navigate the choppy waters of hair care. :blush:

To echo the sagacity of our esteemed members, water-based pomades indeed seem to be the way to go for those of us with hair that’s seen better days. The Suavecito Matte Pomade has been lauded for its volumizing prowess without the unsightly grease. And while Malin + Goetz Hair Pomade has been praised for its lightweight formula, it’s worth noting that it comes with a steeper price tag, which might give some of us pause.

The King Brown Cream Pomade, as mentioned, offers a delightful scent and a respectable hold, which is a boon for those who appreciate such sensory pleasures. And let’s not forget the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree styling wax, which seems to strike a harmonious balance between hold and scalp friendliness.

Now, while we’ve heard about the Hanz de Fuko Claymation and Bumble and Bumble’s Thickening Cream, I’d like to throw another contender into the mix: the Layrite Natural Matte Cream. This gem has been a staple in my grooming arsenal for quite some time. It provides a firm, yet pliable hold that doesn’t crystallize or harden, ensuring that your hair maintains a natural feel and appearance throughout the day. Plus, it’s water-soluble, so it rinses out clean without any fuss.

In the spirit of thoroughness, it’s also worth considering the American Crew Fiber. It’s a bit of a chameleon, offering a medium hold with a low shine, which can be quite the asset for those of us looking to add a bit of texture without going full matte.

Ultimately, the pomade journey is a personal one, and what works wonders for one mane might not have the same effect on another. It’s all about experimentation and finding that golden formula that complements your unique hair type and styling needs. Keep us posted on your pomade exploits, Spencer, and remember: the perfect coiffure is out there, waiting to be discovered!
